Code::Blocks is an IDE that I use daily all of the features that it offers makes it the best C++ IDE available even better than the paid ones. When you start up on your first project (as well as every new project) you can choose from a number of different templates determined by what kind of program you are aiming to make, which will get you right into what you need to do rather than setting up the entire window structure and all that hoobla =)

Some of the features that it bolsters include but are not limited to:

support for over 20 compilers

Intuitive and easy to use Code Editor

Debugger with easy access

wxWidgets is used for the GUI designer or you can do it in a programmatic fashion
